Hicks had put Titans back-rower Sienna Lofipo in an upside-down position and referee Clayton Wills had no hesitation in pointing to the Cbus Stadium sheds on Sunday.
It reduced the Titans to 12 players for the final 14 minutes, but the damage had already been done as the Broncos were ahead 34-4. They scored two more tries for a 44-4 win.
In the earlier game in Auckland, the Warriors had not won at their Go Media Stadium home ground in the three years (2018-20) they were part of the NRLW before COVID-19 intervened.
They re-entered the competition this season and now have their first win for 2025.
The strong result by the Broncos means they share top of the table with both the Bulldogs and Roosters, who are also undefeated after two rounds.
For Eels prop Tess McWilliams, it wasn't a great start to her second NRLW game. She dropped the ball on the first carry, and things didn't get much better for the Eels after that.
After just five minutes both Warriors wingers had scored off sweeping backline moves - Michaela Brake in the right corner, and Payton Takimoana in the left.
It was Brake's first rugby league try after scoring plenty in sevens rugby for New Zealand.
The 8-0 lead remained until halftime as the Warriors hunted their first win in Auckland, while the Eels kept them in the grind.
It took 50 minutes for the next points to come, but when Warriors centre Tysha Ikenasio crossed late in the second half, the Eels didn't have any fight left.
On the Gold Coast, the Titans lost fullback Jaime Chapman (hamstring tightness) before the game and had already reshuffled personnel to accommodate for Destiny Mino-Sinapati (syndesmosis) and hooker Brittany Breayley-Nati (fractured collarbone).
The Broncos showed no mercy, with four converted tries in the opening 15 minutes to jump out to a 24-0 lead.
Their fifth came through a charging Chelsea Lenarduzzi for a 28-0 halftime lead.
After three try-assists in the win over Wests Tigers last week, Tamika Upton scored two tries of her own on Sunday as part of the Broncos' handsome seven-tries-to-one victory.
The Titans' only points came in the shadow of fulltime when a Lauren Brown corner kick was retrieved and placed over the line by winger Jasmine Solia.
